The blue bubbles really sell it. Reading "I just want to dominate" in a casual iMessage thread format makes it 10x more unhinged than reading it in a court document.

If the difference in unhinged-ness is that large, aren't you worried that makes it an inaccurate representation of the source material, which was not written in a casual iMessage thread format?

Obviously no choice of how to represent them will perfectly reproduce what Zuckerberg or his staff would have seen, but I kinda think rendering things as DMs when they were not originally DMs is more misleading than most options.

He and similar robber barons are just repeating the trust-era schemes using tech. They don't even hide anymore, Meta is a trust for all practical purposes. They will buy companies and do any number of back deals to maintain their monopoly, in flagrant disregard for antitrust laws.

Hes definitely no genius or visionary. A ruthless competitive s.o.b for sure.

It also feels very shoehorned. You have "conversations" where there's only one party, testimony, memos, and interviews presented as casual conversation, entire messages that are actually "[editorial commentary]", no profile pictures, a useless reply button, everyone's status is "online", etc.

I guess someone saw the recent project for viewing the Epstein emails and needed a way to differentiate...

There are so many examples of this. There are actually people who care about others, and some even resigned over these moral problems.

Interesting to see how zuckerberg didn't care about this at all.

Also this:

> I know that I have blood on my hands by now. I've personally made decisions that affected national elections. I've watched political manipulation in Honduras, Azerbaijan, India, Ukraine, Brazil, Bolivia, and Ecuador. And I've seen Facebook choose profits over action every single time.

And the execution is pretty much terrible. This barely works on mobile

What is the context? Were Zuckerberg's old emails made available to the public?

This looks like a compilation of emails made available through various court cases and leaks over the past 15+ years. Each conversation lists a source (look for small text after all the messages). There's a bunch of different sources.

As to why it's relevant now - I don't think it is. It's likely just a spin-off of similar renders that started popping out in relation to the Epstein files.
